IELTS Speaking: if you don't know the answer
How do you answer a question when you don't know anything about the topic?
There are 2 things you can do:
1.Be honest and explain why you don't know
2.Guess, and tell the examiner that you are guessing
Example question:
How has technology affected the kinds of music that young people listen to?
My answer, using both tips above:
(1) To be honest I don't really know the answer to that because I'm completely out of touch
with what young people are listening to, and I'm not a fan of pop music.
(2) However, I suppose that technology must have affected music. Maybe young people are
listening to music that has been made using computer software instead of real musical
instruments like the piano or guitar.
